Castles


If you’re up to it, check out Scratches. This young man is an amazing storyteller. (If you know him personally, tell him to update his blog.)

*

I wrote something, and thought I’d share it. Once again, it’s super short, even too short to be a novella, but a little longer than a regular blog post, so I added a cover and an About the Author page and book’d it up. If you’ve read my past posts before, you may know I’m not a big fan of reading blurbs, and even less a fan of writing them, so, no, there’s no summary. Go and be pleasantly surprised.

(Or horrified. But hopefully pleasantly surprised.)

It’s a PDF file (yes, again), and I’d appreciate feedback, whichever medium you choose to give it to me by. I do my best to eliminate typos, but I’m far from perfect, so feel free to point out any you see.

Click here to download it.

If, however, you don’t feel like it, then click here to not download it. Yes, I cater to all needs.

Happy reading.

Oh, wait. I didn’t even mention the title. It’s called Castles in Gomorrah. Yeah. I tried to include pidgin, but I’m not very… yeah just read it.

Peace.

To Move or not to Move

  That is the question. I’m not sure when this blog became a quarterly. Because how am I only updating this for the first time in over three months? Sorry that I’m asking you. I had to ask someone. Photo Credit: Kaboompics, Pexels. Now that we’ve gotten the apology of my inconsistency out of the way (🙈), let’s celebrate!  I’m 24! Woohoo! In the voice of Liesl from The Sound of Music, ‘I am twenty-four going on twenty-five!’ Yes, I’ve been twenty-four for a few years now, but let us concentrate on important things.  In slightly less incredible news, I set a goal to read 25 books this year. Thus far, I’ve read 24. It’s not because I’m disciplined, or that I’ve got so much time on my hands. It’s just proof of how much traffic I have to sit through to and from work. People have got to learn to stop buying cars and just…walk! The air would be so much cleaner.  As is my habit, when I read a good book, I’ve got to talk about it, give the mandem something to add to their TB...

Iron's Match

  They’d left the keys there to taunt her.  Naa lunged. Stupid.  Like the first thirty times, the chains on her ankles tensed, snatching her back. Pain tore across her body as she slammed into the dungeon’s icy wall. She wheezed through chattering teeth. The glowing orange manacles around her wrists continued to shrink, their sinister laugh echoing in the darkness.  She chuckled. Her tummy cramped. ‘I’ll need a long beauty rest after this.’ Wind whooshed in through the window slats, carrying sounds of distant brass harmonies and beating drums. The coronation!  Seven days. That was how long the strongest–or most stubborn–magic wielders could survive before the manacles fused with their skin, sucking all their ability. It had been six days since Jasim threw her in, clearing the final obstacle to his coronation tomorrow. Naa’s chains rattled as she scrambled to her feet. She could not hang around for another day.  If she could just reach the stupid keys! ...

10 Things the Rio Olympics Taught Me

Some of us became temporarily nocturnal this month. We wanted to see if Usain Bolt will do his treble treble. That guy is too much fun. I enjoyed his brief bromance with Andre de Grasse. How will the Olympic world recover from Bolt’s exit? Anyway, I learned a few things. A few. 10. I’m not that much into sports. So it’s been said, that I like sports, and I do well because I follow it. Well, it took seventeen days of competition to prove all of that wrong. Apparently there are tons of sporting events that I never knew of. The Olympics happen once in four years, but in those intervals there are mini-Olympics, you know, indoor championships, the Diamond League, the IAAF championships. Handball leagues. BMX. Volleyball tourneys! Listening to those commentators harp on and on about this competitor’s season’s best and personal best and who won what earlier this year made me feel so dumb. All I follow is the NBA, barely, and the WNBA is dead to me, and my football knowledge is ...
